Yeah. That's kind of annoying, and the first thing you think of is that
we ought to find a way to share that code somehow. But I think it's
folly to try to design a shared implementation until we have some
concrete implementations to compare. An Oracle FDW, for instance, would
need to emit SQL code with many differences in detail from pgsql_fdw.
It's not clear to me whether a shared implementation is even practical,
but for sure I don't want to try to build it before we've done some
prototype single-purpose implementations.
